Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Alabama

<p>So basically for my education at Alabama (which will happen if I dont get into UGA), It is going to run me about $20,240 per year:</p>

<p>Semester: (Out-of-State)
Tuition: $6,758.00
Fees: $100.00
Room, Double Occupancy: $1,560.00
160 Meals per semester: $952.00
Dining Dollars: $300.00
Books and Supplies $450.00
Total: $10,120.00</p>

<p>I missed the deadline for scholarships, but my stats are:
GPA: 3.4 (All honors/AP)
SAT: 1240
Dual Seal w/ distinction diploma
Lots of ec’s and stuff</p>

<p>my parents are both middle class (I’ll say around $100k/year), but I live with my dad and he did my fafsa. Id also like to say that Im not a minority.</p>

<p>my parents are offering to pay $14,000 of the $20,000 I need to go, but so yeah I still $6,000 under. Im saving money now, but I know Ill need that for spending money for for food, everyday stuff, ect.</p>

<p>Will I really be paying this $20k or will I get some kind of aid or something? The last thing I want to do is take out a student loan and get into a lot of debt like my parents, cousins, uncles, ect. </p>

<p>I will if I have to though, Alabama is my big #2.
Will I get any aid at all?</p>

<p>Also: ive applied for over 10 outside scholarships so far, but what are my chances of getting those? None.</p>

<p>Alabama is terrible with financial aid. It's mostly Stafford loans if you get any. Sorry.</p>

<p>Good luck! I'm out of state as well, but I caught the deadline. </p>

<p>Freshman year might be a little rough money wise, but your sophomore year and on, as long as you keep your grades up, you can apply for undergraduate specific scholarships. </p>

<p>Just make sure you stay on top of things.</p>

<p>Where are you from?</p>
